MATRIX JOURNAL: The Lost Day

I forgot to send this out yesterday.
So, I came in extra early at 8:30am yesterday in order to join an interview and observe a lesson. The guy flakes and I was so annoyed.

Anyways, after that, I went over all the Spanish requests and grades again to make sure that I had placed all students properly and surprisingly some new numbers come up. I started to go over all the seniors to make sure that they had the classes that they needed to graduate. I'll e-mail the new numbers separately.

Then, Ricardo and Eric come into my office and the rest of the afternoon was spent looking over GPA, senior rankings, Latin honors, weighted and unweighted GPA. Then Ms. Harada comes and we started to look at Science specifically and found that we need 1 more section.

The afternoon was spent planning with Yolanda on Senior Institute Advisory plans. A lot of good stuff happened with differentiation between Juniors and Seniors. Next step is to begin to synthesize a binder that would create the advisory curriculum. Some great stuff around service learning was flushed out. It wasn't just some meaningless task of having to perform community service but one that included research, creating baseline, an action plan, reflection and a report back to the overall community. It looks rich! I'll email that initial plan separately.
